I’ve had my AWD Element since purchasing it brand new, the first year they came out. I absolutely love this thing, and will drive it until I can’t any longer lol. Only has 150k on it now, and it’s in great shape. People severely underestimate how versatile this vehicle is!

I have a first gen tundra and I love all the space my element has, 5/4wd. Picker, e250 4x4 tranny, tcase and tq conv with 10 or so 1.5 alum angle and still lots of room left.

I have had 7 Elements in total (2 at the moment)- this one pictured I plan to sell soon as I am starting a new project of building an expedition-style Toyota 75 series Troopy. Everything said is true with a few exceptions (I think). They actually have plenty of power if you don’t put much weight in them, but as FenderFour said, once you get 2 people in it, there is not much payload. People expected them to get >30mpg, but with not much in them, they get 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. With all the weight you see in the pic, I solved that by having it supercharged- 300hp. The rear diff can be easily upgraded with a “quick spool” kit to engage it immediately and not wait for the front wheels to spin (the parts are sitting in my garage waiting for install). There are LOTS of mods available for them and a super fun community of owners still out there. Mine has 3-4 in coilover lift, custom bumpers, 2 fridges, aux battery, solar, lots of lights, running cold/hot water, hot shower, central propane, etc, etc. The Element is a really nice platform for exploring forest roads and getting away to secluded camping. What it is really missing is a 2-speed transfer case which is the only reason I am moving to the Troopy.

That is a sweet ride. Never thought about adding a supercharger.
